| simisle: Electric Dreams Ted Friedman, 2005-12 Electric Dreams turns to the past to trace the cultural history of computers. Ted Friedman charts the struggles to define the meanings of these powerful machines over more than a century, from the failure of Charles Babbage’s “difference engine” in the nineteenth century to contemporary struggles over file swapping, open source software, and the future of online journalism. To reveal the hopes and fears inspired by computers, Electric Dreams examines a wide range of texts, including films, advertisements, novels, magazines, computer games, blogs, and even operating systems. Electric Dreams argues that the debates over computers are critically important because they are how Americans talk about the future. In a society that in so many ways has given up on imagining anything better than multinational capitalism, cyberculture offers room to dream of different kinds of tomorrow. |

The heavy focus of this western approach on economic indicators of progress is suited to the elite's interests, since it controls commerce and industries. This book presents the e;ANT3 Paradigm,e; a new development paradigm that is more appropriate for developing nations because it is cognizant of the importance of the cultural and spiritual values of the people alongside their economic aspirations. e;ANT3e; stands for information technology Applications, social Networking, appropriate Technology, modern but affordable Telecommunications systems, and Training. This paradigm emphasizes community-building and a social organization in which every member has a distinct, vital role to play in the pursuit of the common good of the country. |
